CARE OF BLADES
Blades become dull even from cutting regular
lumber. If you find yourself forcing the saw
forward to cut instead of just guiding it through
the cut, chances are the blade is dull or coated
with wood pitch.
FOR MODEL SHD77-73 ONLy 20 AMP, 125 VOLT "TWIST LOCK"
The Model SHD77-73 is equipped with a "Twist
Lock" male connector as shown (Fig. 15). Use
only a 3-wire extension cord which has a mating
"Twist Lock" female connector on one end and
a 3-prong grounding plug on the other end.
(See Electrical Safety section on page 2 for
grounding information.)
If an extension cord is
W RNING
necessary, a cord with
adequate size conductors that is capable
of carrying the current necessary for your
tool must be used. This will prevent
excessive voltage drop, loss of power or
overheating. Grounded tools must use 3-wire
extension cords that have 3-prong plugs and
receptacles.
NOTE: The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.
